Embark on a difficult hike through diverse alpine landscapes on Aosta Valley High Route 2 - Stage 7. You will traverse larch forests, expansive meadows, and mineral slopes shaped by glaciers, offering magnificent views including the Panoramic View of Gran Paradiso Valley. This challenging journey covers 12.1 miles (19.4 km) with a significant 4349 feet (1325 metres) of elevation gain, typically requiring around 9 hours and 36 minutes to complete. Expect to encounter high passes like Col Entrelor and beautiful alpine lakes such as Lago Djouan along the way.
Planning your visit requires careful preparation for this demanding route. You will need sure-footedness and sturdy shoes to navigate steep gradients and loose gravel. Be prepared for potentially lingering snow patches on shaded slopes, especially if you hike in early summer. Essential services and accommodation are available in the valleys at the end of each stage, so plan your overnight stays accordingly.
This stage of the Aosta Valley High Route 2 takes you through pristine natural areas within Gran Paradiso National Park. Keep an eye out for local wildlife; you might spot chamois or even a golden eagle in these untouched environments. The mineral slopes and glacial formations tell a story of the region's geological past, making this route notable for its raw, untamed beauty and ecological significance.
